Description
PCL(4k)-PEG(2k)-thiol is a polymer containing two distinct polymers, a hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) block and a hydrophilic PEG block. The polycaprolactone (PCL) is biodegradable via hydrolysis on the ester bonds.
Applications
PCL(4k)-PEG(2k)-Thiol has further chemical modification capabilities and can be used for surface modification of biomaterials to improve the hydrophilicity, biocompatibility and functionality of the materials.
